This is certainly not a major issue:

Is the P-36A Mohawk supposed to be listed as a Float Fighter?

The "Amphibian" box is checked for it in slot 328 in the Aircraft database in all the official scenarios except Guadalcanal.

<t>I have only played as the Allies so far.<br/>
<br/>
I use automatic convoys a lot. I set up small 1 or 2 ship CS:xxx convoys. If a base needs more supply I set up another small convoy that will arrive between existing convoys rather than making 1 big convoy. This work well in the rear areas and ...

I do it all the time.

Set the TF to "computer controlled" first. Then set the destination.

The order of these steps makes a difference from Brisbane, Noumeau and Truk.

<t>There should be a distinction between "normal" loading, for supply runs, and "combat" loading, for amphibious assaults. Combat loading was very inefficient but let units unload in the proper order as well not putting all of a vital item, such as the artillery ammunition, on one ship.<br/>

Could the game be using the transports at PH to keep Noumea and Brisbane supplied?

Just a thought.

<t>Saratoga's air group was also left in the theater after her torpedoing. They sat at Noumea until November when the Allies got really serious about finding more resources for Guadalcanal. I haven't looked for it but I would be unsurprised to find that the aircraft from Hornet and Wasp were also ...

<t>Scenario #17 started in v1.11<br/>
<br/>
The Yorktown was hammered pretty hard off of PNG. Most of her Air Group went ashore (Port Moresby). I pulled the Yorktown into Cairns to repair Flotation damage and unloaded the rest of her Air Group (VT-5, 1/VF-42, 1/VS-5, and 1/VB-5). I brought all of ...

<t>Its really a little academic right now. The Yorktown had 70 sys damage and 72 flt damage. She can only do 9 knots max (downhill, with a tailwind) and although the flt damage was repaired at Cairns she is still limping back to Noumea with 70 sys damage (with a stop in Brisbane). Too bad I can't ...

Doesn't 'CVE' actually stand for 'Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable'?

Especially if you're the one standing on it with an attack inbound.

<t>Coordinating multiple strikes is extremely difficult under the best of conditions. When you are launching strikes at maximum range the aircraft don't have time to assemble into large formations. Also, radio silence was often in effect so the enemy wouldn't know a strike was in the air or at least ...

<t>Historically (there's that word again) coordinated strikes with multiple carrier air groups were a problem for USN carriers. Prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea USN carriers operated independently and didn't have to worry about it. Even as late os October 1942 at the Battle of Santa Cruz the ...

<t>One problem may be that the B-17E's range may be too long. The B-17E lacked the auxiliary fuel cells in the outer wings that were added early in the B-17F productions run. All subsequent B-17F and G aircraft had them. These added roughly 1000 US gallons to the fuel capacity. <br/>

<t>From what I can find the 19th Infantry and the 21st Infantry arrived in Australia on 8 AUG 1943, along with the Division HQ and support elements. The 34th Infantry did not arrive in Australia until 25 AUG 1943.<br/>
